Analyst Gill Clark has publicly condemned the event planning for the tournament held in Nagoya, pointing out that competitors faced punishing turnaround times that compromised their physical readiness. Shuttle athletes endured late-night finishes that stretched into the early morning hours, leaving minimal time for rest before morning knockout fixtures.
PV Sindhu and Jonatan Christie both fell in their respective quarter-final bouts after enduring grueling schedules, with Sindhu noting she had played multiple matches in less than a day. Clark also highlighted broader logistical failures across other athletic disciplines, including transport blunders and inadequate weather contingencies for outdoor competitions.
